Another of my goals is to get more interested in science-fiction books
Also I want to become a faster reader because I am not a very fast reader.

It is very interesting I discovered it at the library I was just looking for books for my summer reading when ''The Honest Truth" caught my eye. In the book Mark was really strong because he had cancer and he had to run away from his home with his dog to reach his dream which was to climb a mountain. My favorite part in the book is when Mark's dog (Beauchamp) helps Mark out of the freezing water. I reccomend this book for kids 10 and up because in this book it expresses a lot of emotion.]]> 2016-09-06 17:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/arianal2023/unicorn_2ari/wish/121897453 arianal2023 https://padlet.com/arianal2023/unicorn_2ari/wish/122263769 Some of my favorite books are...

This book is very rich in facts. It is very informational. Thomas Edison was one of the greatest inventors that has existed. He invented the light bulb. It did not come easy for him to do it but guess what he kept trying and never gave up. There are many books that talk about Thomas Edison but if you are looking for facts about him this might be my first choice. I think this book is for kids 7 and up because it is a very informational book.
